A Time for Jonathan is the sequel to A Place for Ida that will surely keep you guessing. Author Patricia Richardson has the eye for details when it comes to creating a life within pages. Ida and Billy return in the sequel married with a son, but soon things go from great to worse and then the unthinkable. Their son Jonathan is without a doubt a trouble child, is has demonic tendencies. Ida believes he is cursed with demons from the family's past and tries to heal him with love from a mother. She soon fails pushing Billy and all of friends and Family away. With Jonathan getting worse Billy tries to take over with only Ida giving up on their son and doing the unthinkable. This story is heart whelming and I feel the emotions these characters were living. If you have read a place for Ida this sequel will keep you intrigued only to come to a screeching halt when the novel comes to a surprising end.
